More like forcing you to put your eggs in one basket. You can invest that 600 in one stock and hope it doesn't lose value or diversify it across 15 stocks and be much more flexible to market fluctuations
Depends on if you believe in the right to rebellion or the duty of rebellion. There are classical philosophers that believe in both. All you're saying is that it's not PC
I'm pretty sure you're the idiot. It is the duty of the people to ensure that their rulers are acting for the people.
Per John Locke, who is much smarter than you, on revolution:
THOUGH in a constituted commonwealth, standing upon its own basis, and acting according to its own nature, that is, acting for the preservation of the community, there can be but one supreme power, which is the legislative, to which all the rest are and must be subordinate, yet the legislative being only a fiduciary power to act for certain ends, there remains still in the people a supreme power to remove or alter the legislative, when they find the legislative act contrary to the trust reposed in them: for all power given with trust for the attaining an end, being limited by that end, whenever that end is manifestly neglected, or opposed, the trust must necessarily be forfeited, and the power devolve into the hands of those that gave it, who may place it anew where they shall think best for their safety and security. And thus the community perpetually retains a supreme power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any body, even of their legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the liberties and properties of the subject: for no man or society of men, having a power to deliver up their preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the absolute will and arbitrary dominion of another; when ever any one shall go about to bring them into such a slavish condition, they will always have a right to preserve, what they have not a power to part with; and to rid themselves of those, who invade this fundamental, sacred, and unalterable law of self-preservation, for which they entered into society. And thus the community may be said in this respect to be always the supreme power, but not as considered under any form of government, because this power of the people can never take place till the government be dissolved.
Per wiki on Islamic law regarding revolution(pertinent to Iran): According to scholar Bernard Lewis, the Qur'an and Sunnah have several points to make on governance regarding the right of revolution in Islam.The Quran, for example, makes it clear that there is a duty of obedience: "Obey God, obey the Prophet, obey those who hold authority over you."
And this is elaborated in a number of sayings attributed to Muhammad. But there are also sayings that put strict limits on the duty of obedience. Two dicta attributed to the Prophet and universally accepted as authentic are indicative. One says, "there is no obedience in sin"; in other words, if the ruler orders something contrary to the divine law, not only is there no duty of obedience but there is a duty of disobedience. The other pronouncement, "do not obey a creature against his creator," again clearly limits the authority of the ruler, whatever form of ruler that may be.
You can verify the wiki sources, if you'd wish to argue. I'm pretty sure that killing your own people is sin and that you should revolt against the governments that do that(you know, like the government of Iran).
Basically. This is why they kept majority control of their shares, and why Facebook and every other new tech IPO is doing the same. Investors hate it and bitch about it to the SEC and others, but fuck you Mr Investor, you destroyed the goddamned economy.
So what you're saying is that if a police man tazers an armed suspect in order to detain him it is in violation of the 8th Amendment because it is cruel to electrocute someone.
PCs are at the point today where that isn't a problem. Top games like BF3(probably tops as far as graphical fidelity) don't require top PCs to play well. I built my PC for $500 2 years ago with cheap, 3rd tier(read now old) parts. It plays BF3 like a dream. The only upgrade required was to Vista/7, which considering XP is a decade old, isn't an unreasonable thing.
The problem is that if you try to run from that, it guesses. If I type "calc" it should run the command line calc, instead it pulls up OpenOffice Calc if that was the last program I used with Calc in the name. It is the right idea wrongly implemented.
Maybe they actually take "delete" requests seriously and permanently remove the data, unlike every other social networking site that continues to possess, mine, and sell your data after you've "deleted" it.
I can see where you're coming from, but who do you think pushes those 100 corrupt senators to adopt restrictive internet laws? Hint: lobbies like the MPAA, where Dodd is now chief. Convince the MPAA, RIAA, UFIA, etc to back off and those 100 corrupt senators won't even pay attention to the issue, because the corruption comes from them taking bribes and kickbacks from said special interests to vote for the laws in question.
Apparently it worked for some and not for others. I don't use Netflix streaming(shit selection). I use PS3 Media Server, Windows Media Server(WMP), and PlayOn
Exaggerate much? PS3 has upgrades semi-often(less than once a month these days) and they are NOT required to use anything other than the PlayStation Network. These upgrades add features anyways, like the native Netflix application. As far as the batteries and the heat, the original model did get hotter(not like the 360, though) than the current design that runs fairly cool, but many of those units have been phased out anyway(unless you've replaced the laser by now) and the batteries last plenty long and are rechargeable anyways. If you use the ps3 bluray remote, you can use rechargeable AAs or just turn the remote off during the shows(is it really that hard?).
From a standalone device perspective, the PS3 is hard to beat in functionality outside of a dedicated PC. As with all multifunction devices, it has it's shortcomings, but some of those that you mentioned aren't true or aren't really shortcomings(takes longer for my stereo to turn on and load an HD signal than it does for my PS3 to turn on)
You seem to be implying that ignoring it means that my original statement doesn't/can't/won't happen. I never said it was bad, just substituted spam with shit. See no evil, eh?
And how is that any different from a spam folder on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc? Or using Adblock? Or any other measure that accomplishes the same thing?
That's for internet advertising. Google does no print advertising, which loads every mailbox in the nation with tons of shit. Considering the amount of people that use their real names, you don't think they'll sell all that data they collect on you to print advertisers for targeted mailing?

$15 duty free BigMacs are the best.

Anyone can still buy a Learjet, too.
Draw in new institutional investors, while preventing casual investors from entering the party.

So bend over and take it, right?

Because cruel and unusual punishment applies to those being detained. This is not punishment

Yes, I understand that, but it should default to commandline entries first before running applications based on a name search hit.
The problem is that if you try to run from that, it guesses. If I type "calc" it should run the command line calc, instead it pulls up OpenOffice Calc if that was the last program I used with Calc in the name. It is the right idea wrongly implemented.

Would +1 Insightful if I had points.
Also, if this isn't the definition of first world problems, I don't know what is.
Is that the female orgasm or something?
